Options

  1. A22.022.0 A
  2. B2.22.2 A
  3. C5.55.5 A
  4. D11.011.0 A

Correct answer

B. 2.22.2 A

Step-by-step solution

Given V=220sin⁡(2×103t)V = 220 \sin(2 \times 10^3 t) V, the peak voltage is Vm=220V_m = 220 V and the angular frequency is ω=2×103\omega = 2 \times 10^3 rad/s.

The inductive reactance is XL=ωL=(2×103)×(10×10−3)=20 ΩX_L = \omega L = (2 \times 10^3) \times (10 \times 10^{-3}) = 20 \, \Omega.

The capacitive reactance is XC=1ωC=1(2×103)×(25×10−6)=150×10−3=20 ΩX_C = \dfrac{1}{\omega C} = \dfrac{1}{(2 \times 10^3) \times (25 \times 10^{-6})} = \dfrac{1}{50 \times 10^{-3}} = 20 \, \Omega.

Since XL=XCX_L = X_C, the circuit is in resonance. The impedance of the circuit is Z=R2+(XL−XC)2=R=100 ΩZ = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2} = R = 100 \, \Omega.

The current amplitude is Im=VmZ=220100=2.2I_m = \dfrac{V_m}{Z} = \dfrac{220}{100} = 2.2 A.
